The modern feed back systems would prevent rich operation as long as the additional fuel supplied did not exceed the available oxygen. Not sure about a potential Check Engine Light situation if the system detected something it could not handle, but the O2 sensor is the final control of overall mixture control. Running rich would require a non functional O2 sensor (already a CEL) or the fuel management systems lack of compensational range to reduce the gasoline delivery to compensate for the volume of alternative fuel delivered.

Can you say Natural Gas-Gasoline powered car?

Some Propane or Natural Gas added to the system should work, as long as it is done properly.
